The next morning, Nina woke up to Alana leaving.
"Where are you going?" Nina asked sitting up
"I told Chris that I would be coming back later, and I never did."
"So, What?" Nina said "You don't care about me anymore?" she said sarcastically "Fine, if you must, be that way, shoo!"
They both giggled a little.
"I'll be back later, and I hope I actually will this time, bye." Alana said as she walked out the door.
Nina laid on the couch a little longer, wondering what she was going to do all day.
"Oh no, I forgot, I have work, and I have to call Jake!" she thought.
She walked over to the phone and dialed his number, waiting for him to pick up, remember the weird handprint on the phone, she could feel it underneath her hand, it fit her hand perfectly.
"Hello?" A tired voice said.
"Jakey!" Nina said enthusiastically. "Look, Alana crashed into a pole last night, so I have no car, will you give me a ride to work, please pookey!"
"Sure. But, what did I tell you, she's a cop, she drives crazy."
"Yeah, anyway, bring me some clothes too, okay? See you in about ten minutes, bye."
"Bye." He said
Nina went outside and waited on the stairs "Today is going to be a mess." She thought "I wonder if Alana remembered she had work….Oh well."
Jake's car pulled up to the house. Nina ran up to the car, took her clothes and ran back into the house.
Once she was done getting dressed, she went running back to the door.
"Hey!" Claire said "Where ya going?"
"I got work." Nina said "Bye!"
Nina ran to the car and got in.
Alana was at the bus stop, waiting for a bus. While all of these younger people were standing around, she figured they were going to school. It was only seven fifteen in the morning.
"What happened to you?" Some boy said from behind her.
"I got in an accident." Alana replied dully.
"When, five minutes ago, you oughta go to the hospital."
"Yeah lady, you need some serious help." Another boy that was beside her said
She turned around to the boy behind her, because he kept insisting that she go to the hospital.
"Whoa! It's not just your arm, it's your whole damn face!" He said sounding shocked
An older woman walked up to the bus stop, she looked about 50.
"Oh my!" the old woman said "What happened to you!"
"Nothing, I'm fine" she answered.
"Well, you should go to the hospital." The woman said
"That's where I'm going." She said
"Oh, good." The woman said.
A bus pulled up, and all the kids started getting on.
"Great," she thought "They're on the same one."
"Hey lady!" the boy shouted "This is the bus you'll want to get on."
"Alright." She said, and got on the bus.
About ten minutes later, they pulled up at the hospital bus stop.
"Aren't you getting out?" the boy asked.
"No." she said
"Why not?" The bus driver asked.
"I AM FINE!" she said, in a loud, irritated voice.
Everyone was quiet for the rest of the ride.
When she got to the stop near Chris's building, she got off, and started walking.
Everyone she walked past was staring at her. She wished they would all go away.
Once she got to the building, she buzzed the buzzer, and Chris said "hello?" in a very tired voice.
"Please let me in!" Alana said sounding very desperate.
"ok." Chris said sounding a little bit more awake.
Once she got upstairs, and Chris opened the door and said "Whoa. What happened to you!"
She walked inside, and explained the whole thing.
"Where are you going?" Nina asked sitting up
"I told Chris that I would be coming back later, and I never did."
"So, What?" Nina said "You don't care about me anymore?" she said sarcastically "Fine, if you must, be that way, shoo!"
